    Pete, goes without saying but I appreciate your honest opinions, one of the things I like about this Forum! Not got it in hand yet, it will arrive Tues/Weds I expect, when it will be closely examined! So too early to say whether I am happy yet ... most of my dabbles into copper / bronze in the past have been ill-advised, I should stick to what I know perhaps!

    Hadn't spotted any verd problems Pete, I wouldn't have bid if I had - it just had eye appeal for me and was a good price imo ... yes, slabbed as CGS 78 ex NGC MS64 BN ... have I blundered here?

    Unusual for me to acquire a penny, but I did today

    Hi Eddie My guesses as to what CGS would grade them: Vickie sov CGS 70 Willie HC CGS 55-60 Vickie HC CGS 70 Do be sure that none of the show any signs of cleaning dipping, else they will be rejected and CGS will not refund your fee. From the pics alone the Vickie HC has a suggestion of dipping? What do you think 'in hand'?

    If we're doing coin nicknames, there is also the Joey (3d) and the Quid (£1)

    Bit a lot more patchy but nice to my eyes

    Never knowingly undersold (whatever that means)
  15. Paulus
    The bidding is just silly, can't be genuine bids, would be my guess - as to why, no idea!
  16. Paulus
    There are other English pre decimal coins too, other than the ones Peter listed. May be worth mentioning the Groat (4d - 1/3 of a shilling) and the Half Groat (2d)
  17. Paulus
    Yes, there is still a classic called the 1000 Guineas, and another called the 2000 Guineas - just historic names I think, from when that was the prize money

    Out of interest, do either of your tablets have a macro facility?
  19. Paulus
    GVF for me too, from the pics alone (of course) ... needs a better lion's face for EF imo
  20. Paulus
    I'd also agree with Swanny's grading assessment

    I've yet to attend myself Stuntman, but every 3 months they have more dealers and more space, December being the next of those
